9 Dear Cattle Breeder, Welcome to the 4th Annual Bannaby Angus Bull Sale, to be held on Saturday 23rd August 2014 at 12.00pm. Bulls will be available for inspection from 10.00am on Sale Day, or at other times by prior arrangement. We would like to thank all those who have supported us at our previous three sales. We were very pleased with the results of last year s sale which achieved a top price of $8,000 and a sale average of $4,067. Once again buyers were able to buy quality bulls at real value for money. This year there will be 31 bulls on o$er, consisting of 19 H bulls months old, and 12 J bulls months old. We are really starting to see the results of our heavy investment in top quality females over the last few years. In particular, our embryo transfer program is yielding excellent results, as demonstrated by the young J bulls on o$er this year. If you were at last year s sale you may remember that a genetic defect in the Angus breed, developmental duplication (or DD), had just been announced. We have decided not to sell any bulls that are DD carriers. We have also withdrawn any bulls that are carriers of AM, NH or CA. This decision has reduced the number of bulls we have to o$er this year, but it means that buyers should not have to worry about any known genetic defects coming into their herds from our bulls. Another important issue for buyers of registered cattle this year is the e$ect of a number of significant enhancements to the Angus Breedplan analysis made in April You may have noticed that there have been some significant changes recently in the ebv s for some of the popular semen sires and their progeny. There is a more detailed analysis of these changes on page 12, but the most noticeable changes have been to calving ease ebv s. This is the result of increasing emphasis being put on gestation length in calculating calving ease ebv s. Additional data collected over the past few years has found that gestation length has more influence on calving ease than was previously evident in the ebv s. In the revised analysis shorter gestation length sires exhibit more positive calving ease ebv s than in the previous figures. As a result sires exhibiting higher birthweight ebv s can have positive calving ease if they have short gestation length ebv s. Consequently, we expect that short gestation length bulls will become popular in coming years. This should allow calving ease to be maintained while allowing for higher birthweights and hence higher growth animals, therefore enhancing sale weights for commercial producers. We continue to expand our embryo transfer program, and expect to have over 100 embryo calves on the ground in 2014, and are planning for further expansion of the program over the next few years. This will allow us to o$er more bulls from some of the elite cows we have acquired over recent years. We are maintaining our commitment to a program of enhancing our stud herd through a program of aggressive culling and the purchase of exceptional females. We made a number of acquisitions at the Aberdeen Estate dispersal late last year, including a half share (in conjunction with KO Angus) of Tuwharetoa E159, a full sister to Rennylea Edmund E11 and a half sister to Tuwharetoa Regent D145. She has gone straight into a flush program. We always welcome your feedback, both positive and negative, and would encourage you to get in contact with us as we re keen to remain an important partner in your breeding program. We hope you enjoy looking over our Sale Bulls and look forward to meeting up with you on Sale Day. Keith and Maureen Kerridge

10 BEEF CLASS SYSTEM Structural problems in cattle have a substantial e$ect on both the reproductive and growth performance of a beef herd. It is widely recognised that structural problems in sires have detrimental e$ects on conception rates, calving patterns and therefore profitability. Similarly, females with inadequate structural characteristics are more prone to weaning lighter calves or conceiving later in the breeding season than their more functional counterparts. These structural problems are filtered through the supply chain resulting in reduced income for the producer, feedlot and thus reducing the overall profitability of the Australian beef industry. Whilst genetic improvement for consistency and quality of beef will continue to be pivotal in developing the Australian beef industry, we must not forget the fundamentals of livestock breeding. The Beef Class Structural Assessment System was designed by the MLA, the BIA and several breed societies to address the structural problems in the beef industry. Detailed analysis of three hundred genetically linked herds indicated that structural characteristics such as leg and foot structure were moderately to highly heritable. BEEFXCEL now services many seed stock operations in their selection and grading of stock using the Beef Class Structural Assessment System. Jim Green and Liam Cardile of BEEFXCEL service many of the leading seed stock herds in Australia. BEEFXCEL is not involved in any genetic marketing or specific breeding advice and therefore has no conflicts of interests to influence their stock appraisal. The integrity of the structural data provided by BEEFXCEL is recognised throughout the industry as Jim and Liam are fully independent in their assessments. The 2014 Bannaby Angus Sale Bulls have been independently structurally assessed to maximize the quality of stock on o$er. Any animals deemed inadequate have been removed from the sale draft. The Bannaby Angus Sale Bulls were assessed by Liam Cardile of BEEFXCEL in June HOW TO USE THE BEEF CLASS SYSTEM. The Beef Class Structural Assessment System uses a 1-9 scoring system for leg and feet structure; %A score of 5 is ideal (note: Temperament Score of 1 is preferable) % A score of 4 or 6 shows slight variation from ideal, but this includes most animals. An animal scoring 4 or 6 would be acceptable in any breeding program. % A score of 3 or 7 shows greater variation but would be acceptable in most commercial programs. However, seed stock producers should be vigilant and understand that this score indicates greater variation from ideal. % A score of 2 or 8 are low scoring animals and should be closely looked at before purchasing.# % A score of 1 or 9 should not be catalogued and are considered culls. For more information please call Liam Cardile on

12 ENHANCEMENTS TO ANGUS GROUP BREEDPLAN A number of significant enhancements were implemented into the BREEDPLAN software that is used to calculate s for Angus animals within the April 2014 Angus GROUP BREEDPLAN analysis. These enhancements are part of the routine maintenance of the BREEDPLAN software and have resulted in the calculation of improved BREEDPLAN s for Angus animals. The enhancements include: Revisions to the main multi-trait analysis The main multi-trait model used in the Angus BREEDPLAN analysis has been revised to include several enhancements: > Revised adjustment factors - di$erences in performance records are adjusted for non-genetic di$erences such as di$erences in the age of the animal, the age of the dam and for carcase weight. The adjustment factors that are used have been estimated to ensure adjustments remain appropriate for the performance information being analysed. > Revised genetic parameters - the calculation of s requires information on the genetic variation expressed in each trait, as well as the correlations between all traits. All trait heritability's and correlations have been re-estimated to ensure that the genetic parameters remain appropriate for the performance records being analysed. > Revised definition of carcase traits - with the exception of carcase weight, all carcase s are now expressed as di$erences in a standard 400 kg steer carcase, while carcase weight s are now expressed as di$erences at 750 days of age. This increase in weight (from 300 kg) and age (from 650 days) has little e$ect on the ranking of animals for carcase s but was necessary in order to appropriately analyse the recent abattoir carcase information being submitted to BREEDPLAN, where the average weight and age of carcases has increased substantially. > Inclusion of net feed intake - the two trial net feed intake s currently reported for Angus animals, NFI-p (post weaning) and NFI-f (finishing) are now calculated as part of the main multi-trait analysis. Previously, these s were calculated as part of a separate analysis. This change means that NFI s are now calculated and available for all animals in the main Angus BREEDPLAN analysis, providing their s meet minimum accuracy reporting thresholds. Revised genetic parameters for the calving ease analysis The genetic parameters used in the calving ease analysis have been re-estimated to ensure they remain appropriate for the records being analysed. The direct and maternal variances and heritability's for calving ease have increased, creating more spread in the s. More influence has also been given to both birth weight and gestation length in the calculation of calving ease s. Addition of new abattoir carcase data Implementation of the revised adjustment factors and genetic parameters for carcase traits now make possible the inclusion of a significant amount of abattoir carcase information that has been collected on Angus animals with heavier carcase weights. Update to base year The base year used within the Angus BREEDPLAN analysis has been updated from 1995 to The change to the base year will not have an e$ect on the s of individual animals but has been made to provide a more appropriate base population. The base population acts like an anchor point in the analysis. A base adjustment has also been made to each of the selection indexes to bring the new average values in line with the old average values for more recent animals (eg born calves). Implications for selection index values Although no changes have been made to the production scenarios used in the calculation of the selection index values, the underlying genetic parameters within the BreedObject software have been changed to reflect those now used in the main Angus BREEDPLAN analysis. This has resulted in changes to the weightings being used in the calculation of the selection index values. If you have any questions regarding the enhancements to Angus BREEDPLAN, please contact Carel Teseling at Angus Australia on (02)

37 INFORMATION ON RECESSIVE GENETICS PUTTING GENETIC RECESSIVE GENETIC CONDITIONS IN PERSPECTIVE This is information for bull buyers about the genetic conditions, Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM), Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (NH), Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA) and Developmental Duplications (DD). All animals including humans carry single copies (alleles) of undesirable or broken genes. In single copy form, these undesirable alleles usually cause no harm to the individual. But when animals carry two copies of certain undesirable or broken alleles it often results in bad consequences. Advances in genomics has facilitated the development of accurate diagnostic tests to enable the identification and management of numerous undesirable or broken genes. Angus Australia is proactive in providing its members and their clients with relevant tools and information to assist them in the management of known undesirable genes and our members are leading industry in the use of this technology. Key point: With today s DNA tools undesirable genetic conditions can be managed. WHAT ARE AM, NH, CA AND DD? AM, NH, CA and DD are all recessive conditions caused by broken alleles within the DNA of individual animals. When a calf exhibits two copies of the AM or NH alleles their development is so adversely a$ected that they will be still-born. In other cases, such as CA and DD, calves carrying two copies of the broken allele may reach full term. In such cases, the animal may either appear relatively normal, or show physical symptoms that a$ect their health and or their performance. Key point: The number of reported observations of AM, NH,CA and DD calves is very low and there is certainly no need for panic. HOW ARE THE CONDITIONS INHERITED? Research in the US and Australia indicates that AM, NH, CA and DD are simply inherited recessive conditions. This means that a single pair of genes controls the condition. For this mode of inheritance two copies of the undesirable allele need to be present before the condition is seen, in which case you may get an abnormal calf. A more common example of a trait with a simple recessive pattern of inheritance is black and red coat colour. Animals with only one copy of the undesirable allele (and one copy of the normal form of the allele) appear normal and are known as carriers WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CARRIERS ARE MATED WITH OTHER ANIMALS? Carriers will on average pass the undesirable allele form to half (50%) of their progeny. When a carrier bull and carrier cow are mated there should be a 25% chance that the progeny produced will have two normal alleles. There will be a 50% chance that the mating will produce a carrier. But there should be a 25% chance that the progeny will have two copies of the undesirable gene.if animals tested free of the undesirable gene are mated to carrier animals the condition will not be expressed at all. All calves will appear normal, however approximately half could be expected to be carriers. # Key point: For the condition to be expressed the undesirable gene needs to be present on both sides of the pedigree and both the sire and the dam need to be a carrier. HOW IS THE GENETIC STATUS OF ANIMALS REPORTED? DNA based diagnostic tests have been developed that can be used to determine whether an individual animal is a carrier or is free of the resulting alleles AM, NH, CA or DD.Angus Australia uses advanced software to calculate the probability of untested animals to be a carrier of AM, NH, CA or DD.The software uses the tests results of any relatives in the calculations and the probabilities may change as new results for additional animals become available.# # The genetic status of animals is reported using five categories: AMF tested AM free AMFU based on pedigree AM free, but animal not tested# AM_% _% probability the animal is an AM carrier AMC tested AM carrier AMA AM a$ected# For NH, CA and DD replace AM with NH, CA or DD in the above table. Registration certificates and the Angus Australia internet database display these codes with every pedigree on the animal details page under Animal Details on the Angus Australia website. Key point: The genetic status of animals is subject to change and will be re-analysed and adjusted each week as DNA test results of relatives are received. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR COMMERCIAL PRODUCERS? Your decision on what genetic condition statuses are acceptable will depend on the genetics of your cow herd (which bulls you have previously used), whether you have a straight breeding or crossbreeding enterprise and whether some female progeny will be retained as breeders. Angus Australia seed stock breeders are being proactive in managing these genetic conditions, endeavouring to provide the best information available. The greatest risk to the commercial sector from undesirable genetic recessive conditions comes from unregistered bulls with unknown genetic background. The DNA testing that Angus Australia seed stock producers are investing in provides buyers of registered Angus bulls with unmatched quality assurance.# For further information contact Angus Australia s Breed Development and Innovation Manager on

38 TAKING CARE OF YOUR INVESTMENT BRINGING HOME A NEW BULL This section has been prepared from information provided by Angus Australia Buying a bull is a long term investment in the future genetics and sale income of your herd. To get the most from your new bull, it pays to look after him well, especially in the first season of use. AT THE SALE Many factors need to be taken into consideration when buying a bull. These include growth, fertility, carcase value, structural soundness and temperament. At a bull sale, inspect the bulls in the yards or pens and note any unusual behaviour or activity. Beware of bulls that are continually pushing to the centre of the mob, running around, unreasonably nervous, aggressive or excited. Note this behaviour in the sale catalogue and don t bid on these bulls. The behaviour of some bulls may change during the auction. Bulls that are quiet in the yard or paddock may not like the pressure and noise of an auction and become excited. Others that were excited before often get much worse in the sale ring. Behaviour in the yard or pen prior to the sale is a much better guide to temperament than behaviour shown in the sale ring. AFTER THE SALE At auction sales, remember that possession is yours after the fall of the hammer, so careful treatment of animals from that point on is important. Insurance against loss in transit, accidental loss of use or fertility is sometimes provided by vendors. Where it is not, it is worth considering insurance to cover transport and the first three to six months of use. Complete delivery instructions supplied by the vendor or agent. Before you take delivery of your new bull, ask what health treatments he has received. For example, has he been vaccinated with 5-in-1? How often? When was it last done? Has he been vaccinated for Vibrosis? Leptospirosis? Three-day sickness? Bovine viral diarrhoea virus? Ask about the handling and stock movement methods that have been used with your new bull: dogs, horses, bikes, vehicles. If you take the bull home yourself, consider the following:. Handle him quietly at all times, no dogs, no buzzers. Talk to the bull and give him time and room to move. Your impatience or nervousness is easily transmitted to an animal unfamiliar to you and unsure of his environment.. If you buy bulls from di$erent vendors, you should separate them on the truck.. Make sure that the truck floor is covered with sand, sawdust or a floor grid to reduce the risk of bulls being injured or going down in transit.. If you can arrange it, put a few quite cows or steers on the truck with the bull and let them run with the bull for a while before loading and after unloading.. Unload and reload during the trip as little as possible. If necessary, rest with water and feed.. If buying bulls from interstate, organise any necessary health tests before leaving and work out if any other requirements must be met before can cattle can come into your state (for example, dipping for ticks or testing for Johnne s Disease).. When you use a professional carrier:. Make sure your carrier knows which bulls can be mixed together.. Discuss resting procedures for long trips, expected delivery time, delivery and contact instructions, truck condition and quiet handling... Give the bull s ear tag and brand numbers to the carrier and get the carrier s phone number.. When buying bulls from far away, you may have to fit in with other delivery arrangements to reduce cost. You should make it clear to how you want your bulls handled. Aim to get the bull home at least 1-2 months before the start of the breeding season. This will provide time for bulls to overcome the stresses of the sale and being moved to a new location and adjust to the new environment. ARRIVAL New bull buyers are often concerned about the apparent bad temperament of a bull that seemed quiet enough when purchased. Bulls can become upset and excited in the sale and delivery process. They are subjected to strange yards, di$erent noises, loss of their mates, di$erent people, di$erent handling methods, trucking, unlading, new paddocks, and di$erent water and feed. This can upset animals which are normally very quiet. When the bull arrives home, unload him at the yards into a group of house cows, steers or herd cows. Never jump the bull from the back of the truck into a paddock. Bulls from di$erent origins should be put in separate yards with other cattle, steers or cows, for company. Provide hay and water then leave the bull alone until the next day, before giving routine health treatments. Consult with your veterinarian and draw up a policy for treating bulls on arrival and then annually. For example, if they have not been treated before, all bulls should be drenched for worms, fluke if necessary, treated for lice and vaccinated with: ". 5-in-1 vaccine ". vibriosis vaccine ". leptospirosis vaccine in areas where it exists ". three-day sickness vaccine in areas where it can cause problems ". tick fever vaccine for bulls introduced into tick areas Give particular attention to preventing new bulls bringing vibriosis into a herd. Vibriosis, a sexually transmitted disease, causes infertility and abortions and is most commonly introduced to a clean herd by an infected bull. Vaccinated bulls are free from vibriosis so vaccinating bulls against the disease should be a routine practice. Vaccination involves two injections, 4-6 weeks apart, at the time of introduction, and then a booster shot every year. Keep the bull away from females that may come on heat until both initial vaccinations are completed. When working bulls through the yards, handle them with care. Preferably work them with other cattle and do not use force unless absolutely necessary. After administering routine health treatments, leave the bulls in the yards for the next day or two on feed and water to settle down with other stock for company. A bull s behaviour will determine how soon it can be moved out to paddocks.

39 TAKING CARE OF YOUR INVESTMENT MATING NEW BULLS Newly purchased young bulls should not be multiple joined with older herd bulls. They will not be allowed to work much and in keeping them away from the cows, the older, dominant bull will knock them around.use new bulls in either single sire groups or with other young bulls their own age. If a number of young bulls are to be used together, run them together for a few weeks before joining starts. They sort out their pecking order quickly and have few problems later. The Australian Association of Cattle Veterinarians (AACV) defines a normal, fertile bull as expected to get 90% of 50 normal, cycling free females pregnant within 9 weeks, and 60% of these should become pregnant in the first three weeks of joining. This expectation would apply to 2 year old bulls, but not to younger bulls. YEARLING BULLS In recent years the selling of yearling bulls has become more common. Don t overwork young bulls. Mating loads of only females are recommended for yearling bulls. MANAGING OLDER HERDS Older working bulls also need special care and attention before mating starts. They should be tested or checked annually well before the joining for physical soundness, testicle tone and serving ability. For older bulls a serving ability test is useful as it makes diagnosis of problems such as arthritis and lameness easier. All bulls to be used must be free moving, active and in good store condition. Working bulls may need supplementary feeding before the joining season to bring up condition. All bulls should be drenched, treated for lice and vaccinated with 5-in-1 and for vibriosis, annually. They may also need leptospirosis and three- day sickness vaccinations in some areas. DURING MATING. Check bulls at least twice each week for the first two months. Get them close up to them and see each bull walk: check for swellings around the sheath and for lameness. Watch them work if possible and pay particular attention to any sign of serving problems like corkscrew penis or too many cows returning to heat.. Have a spare bull or bulls available to replace any that break down. Replace any suspect bull immediately. If you have to replace a bull, get the bull checked by your vet. Sometimes prompt treatment for small problems can avoid culling. Vendors that provide guarantees on their bulls will usually require a veterinary certificate indicating the problem with unsatisfactory bulls.. Rotate bulls in single sire groups to make sure that any bull infertility is covered. Single sire joining works well but it has risks. The bulls must be checked regularly and carefully or the bulls rotated every one or two cycles. If you need to record sire lines, it may pay to use similarly bred bulls in any rotation or this requirement is hard to achieve.. Yearling bulls are still growing strongly, so tend to be leaner, carrying less body fat reserves. The condition of the yearling bulls is critical. If they drop below condition score 3 sperm production may be impaired. In extensive conditions with only average or poor quality feed, the joining season should be restricted to 6-8 weeks. AFTER MATING. Look after the bulls. Feed them well. Pregnancy test females and cull infertile bulls.
